Oliver D. Bernuetz's Gloranthan Characters - Bjorn Windchaser

Bjorn Windchaser grew up in the city of Boldhome, capital of Sartar in the family of an Issaries merchant. During the sack of Boldhome in 1602 all of his family were killed except for him and his brother. Both were given the choice of becoming slaves or joining the Lunar army. They decided on the army and became slingers in a unit of Lunars irregulars stationed in Tarsh. After eight years of this they decided to desert and seek new opportunities. While deserting the pair killed a hated Lunar officer and stole his equipment. There is still a bounty on their heads for this deed.

Making their way to Furthest they encountered and joined a band of rebellious Orlanthis (both Tarshites and Sartarites) that had taken to following Orlanth's thief aspect. This band specialized in preying on the barges that travel to Furthest on the Oslir River from further in the Empire. The brothers worked hard and were true to their god. Eventually a disagreement about leadership in the band led Bjorn and his brother Ombre to start their own group. Relations were mostly friendly between all the various thief bands, especially since Bjorn's group decided to specialize in protection rackets against rich merchants and left the barges alone. Things went well at first but finally the wrong merchant was picked on.

One night while Bjorn was robbing one of the rich merchants in our town a raid on his hideout occured. When he got back everybody and everything was gone. Bjorn went into hiding until the heat died down and once that had happened he checked with his contacts. But all that they could say was that the prisoners had been sold as slaves somewhere into the Lunar empire. Bjorn couldn't even find out whether his brother had been captured or not.

Your search for your brother's whereabouts has led you to the land of Balazar where you have temporarily joined the band of Torath Manover, Wind Lord of Orlanth.
